Tesco corporate affairs manager Michael Kissman has told the Herts Advertiser that local opinion is split over Tesco's proposals.
"Overall, there's a half-and-half split between those who support our proposals and those who don't and the reasons vary hugely. We're pleased that so many support the scheme, but we also need to respond to the points raised by those who are concerned. Traffic is by far the main issue and, while our work is on-going in this area, we need to explain better how our proposals will work."
We don't believe that local opinion about the Tesco development is split - we believe that most local people who have been informed about Tesco's plans and who understand the implications of those plans are strongly opposed to them.
We've yet to come across a single person who supports Tesco's plans despite - unlike Tesco - our willingness to publish any and all comments and letters submitted to this website. We'd love to hear a convincing argument in favour of Tesco's current plans...
Meanwhile, our support amongst our elected representatives continues to grow with Roma Mills, the Labour party leader in St. Albans City Council, coming out in opposition to Tesco's plans:
"Overall the scale and nature of the plans seems completely inappropriate.

Given that Tesco clearly want this development to go through, their best spin on the situation is that opinion is "split"? Suggests to me that the vast majority is against it. It is from my soundings.
